I know the feeling of cleaning like a madwoman before the family arrives... At least it will be done for awhile & you will be able to enjoy it! My last big clean was right before Thanksgiving - probably time for another one. Is there a beauty school in your area where you could take Sassy to get her hair done? And I'm not sure how missing a day of work is good...?

@Jean - oops....good catch. The missing a day of work was supposed to be in the BAD section!!!!

As for Sassy's hair....no time for the beauty school....too far. But it isn't just that...she needed something to make her hair do what she wanted....which will probably run $10-$12, plus I caved and got her something special to put in her hair (that is on me!!)
